Installing Facebook.apk on emulator

Question

I get the following message when I try to install Facebook-11.apk on the emulator:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]

I've found this and it wasn't very helpful. My emulator's Image is Intel Atom (x86_x64) (API 21).

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a solution to this. Thanks in advance!

That answer is correct. The Facebook APK apparently has native code in it but no x86 version, so it can't run on an x86 emulator. — Scott Barta, Dec 16 '14 at 22:59

For google searchers out there - Use Genymotion if you want to check your app with the Facebook app.

As mentioned - you can't install Facebook apk on Intel-based images.

I did it on emulators from Android Studio. Basically you can use any ARM emulator but they are slow as hell, so I do not recommend them. In order to use x86:

Go to https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/variant-%7B%22arches_slug%22%3A%5B%22x86%22%5D%7D/ and download any app you like (but you will have to try some of them, e.g. first one at the moment I was writing this answer did not work on x86 emulator)
Download the selected apk.
Drag'n'drop it on the launched emulator.

Whooorey!
